Nier Developer Absorbed Into AQ Interactive

Cavia, the studio behind Drakengard and Nier, has been dissolved. 4Gamer reported the news at the end of a lengthy interview with Nier staff including comments from Taro Yokoo, Director.

Cavia, at least the staff members, live on within AQ Interactive. AQ Interactive, the parent company of Artoon, Xseed, and previously Cavia, absorbed the studio.

With the cancellation of Cry-On, Nier was Cavia’s last project. No information on what Yokoo and his team are working on now, though. Recently, AQ Interactive has been focusing their efforts on browser games.
